Since I wanted to redesign my website anyways and since hugo keeps getting more complicated and less usable every time i update it, I'm just gonna redo the whole thing using astro and see what happens

One thing I'm liking about astro so far is that it mostly gets out of the way and lets you set up things the way you want. From my view its main utility is being able to compose html file together and include some build-time generation without much fuss. Idk about all the client-side runtime and islands and all that, just being able to create a few reusable chunks of plain html (in a way I can actually wrap my head around) is enough for me. There are a few things that hugo does for free that I'll have to reimplement myself with astro, but honestly I think I prefer having that kind of control over everything. Also, no more go-style templating or prefix-notated functions :gura_smug_dance:
